Map of Alpha-1 testing zone.[1][2] Image credit: Axiom: Angelcry

The Alpha One map including nodes, dungeons, quest givers, POI, teleporters, and camps will be explorable! Note that this is only a small portion of the world of Verra.[3]

Alpha-1 testing tropical zone featuring a war beast and a tribe of pigmy goblins.[4]

This is a rather large tropical area; and what we use some of the creatures for is establishing character for different parts of this tropical place. So that even though it's the same biome, it feels different when you are going from place to place based on what's there and how those things are interacting with the environment.[5]Jeffrey Bard

Alpha-1 testing took place in a zone to the north west of the world map.[6] This zone has many islands and a mainland area.[7]
